Snagged from the back of my consciousness, where the ideas are formed.

This meme is a bit different. There is only one question, and only one rule. The question is simple. The rule is to make your answer interesting. If need be, take a few days, weeks to think of the answer to this meme before posting it. There is no wrong answer, but each answer will be different.

Ready?

What is an artist?

An artist is fearless. She must be willing to define and re-define beauty, to stretch the imagination, and to snap the cords that hold together reality. She is vibrant, expressive color in a world of numbers and words. She does not stand still- she twists and flows to match the movement of the world around her. She climbs fences that hold others in, and opens the door from the outside to free her brothers. She takes in every aspect of life, simple and complex alike, and juxtaposes reality with her reality.

She is inspired by everything, and she is an inspiration to everyone.

There is no tagging in this meme - if you feel like you want to do it, go ahead. If not, you might stumble across an idea later. Don't force any of the words, just let them come to you by exploring your views of art and artists.

I'm anxious to read others' answers to this question
